Jacob Rees Mogg loses seat in General Election giving him more time to lounge around
Britain is waking up to a new chapter in its history – Conservative Party ‘big beast’ Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg losing his seat, and a Labour majority.
It has been a nightmare 24 hours for the Tories – Sir Jacob is the latest top MP, alongside Penny Mordaunt and Grant Shapps, to have lost his job.
The senior Conservative lost his North East Somerset and Hanham seat to Labour, by more than 5,000 votes.
He lost to Labour’s Dan Norris – who he previously unseated during an election in 2010.
Sir Jacob’s career at Westminster – spanning almost 30 years – started at the 1997 General Election at which, aged 27, he was selected as the candidate for Central Fife, a traditional Labour seat in Scotland.
